Sequalitchew Creek Estuary Restoration Design Alternatives, WA (2022)

This work addressed the restoration of full fish passage through the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway, tidal hydrology and sediment inputs to the shoreline, floodplain connection and off-channel habitat, juvenile rearing, osmoregulation, and foraging habitats, and submerged aquatic vegetation and habitats to support forage fish and natural tidal marsh habitats. Additionally, biological and hydrological data was collected for the Sequalitchew Creek Basin, improving established baseline conditions to support successful restoration and monitoring.
